Trial Planting of Vetch as Cover Crop Near Fredericksburg
District cooperator Donald Eckhardt plants five acres of Janavetch as a trial cover crop on orchard land south of Fredericksburg in Gillespie County Soil Conservation District. Seed from the SCS Nursery in San Antonio shows promise for earlier growth than hairy vetch or winter peas. Other farmers report erosion control from tall grasses and conservation practices including legume cover crops and soil improvement through grasses, chisel plowing, and cedar reduction with ryegrass seeding.
